Ranunculus pinguis is a unique species of buttercup found in New Zealand, specifically on the Auckland and Campbell Islands. It is characterized by its dark green, fleshy leaves and large, yellow flowers that bloom from December to January. The name "Ranunculus" comes from the Latin word for frog, possibly due to its habitat near frogs. This plant has a stout rhizome and its leaves are usually diamond-shaped with shallow incisions. The flowers have erect, hairy pedicels and five to ten narrow, spoon-shaped petals with nectaries. The species has 48 chromosomes and is found in rocky areas, often inaccessible to sheep. While there are some differences between populations on the two islands, they are not significant enough to warrant separate taxonomic classification. Ranunculus pinguis is considered to be "At Risk - Naturally Uncommon" due to its limited distribution.
